Seine erste Rolle als Schauspieler hatte er 1999 in dem Film Durango Kids. Es folgten Gastauftritte in Sliders, CSI: Den Tätern auf der Spur und Six Feet Under – Gestorben wird immer. Der Durchbruch gelang ihm 2004, als er in den Filmen The Day After Tomorrow, an der Seite von Jake Gyllenhaal und Dennis Quaid, und Wimbledon – Spiel, Satz und … Liebe, zusammen mit Kirsten Dunst, jeweils größere Rollen übernahm. Es folgten Nebenrollen in den Fernsehserien Surface – Unheimliche Tiefe und John from Cincinnati, sowie weitere Gastauftritte in CSI: Miamiund Deadwood.
In den Jahren 2008 bis 2012 spielte Nichols eine Hauptrolle in der Fernsehserie One Tree Hill. Bis Anfang 2012 war er mit Sophia Bush, die auch zum Hauptcast der Serie gehörte, liiert.
